Is this trip right for you?
verified
This is an overland trip. That means you’ll be travelling with a group in a purpose-built vehicle, visiting remote communities, setting up your own tent (unless you’re on an Original or Comfort style trip), occasionally roughing it in the bush with no facilities, and getting the best possible views of the ‘big five’. While the trucks don’t have air conditioning, they do have drop-down windows, which let in the breeze and make it even easier to take spectacular snaps of the local wildlife. The drive days can be long, but it’s as much about the journey as the destination, and half the fun is the camaraderie. For more info on this style of travel, see our Africa Overland page: https://www.tuuur.com/au/africa/overland https://www.tuuur.com/au/africa/overland (https://www.tuuur.com/au/africa/overland)

Some passengers on this trip will have been travelling together prior to the start of your trip on a 'combo' journey. To see what you're missing out on check out our Zanzibar to Vic Falls trip (YXORC).

As the early bird catches the worm, the early camper sights the animals. There will be many early starts either to make use of the better safari time or to beat the morning traffic on long travel days.

Great way to see 4 countries if short on holiday duration time, but be prepared for long days on an overland truck, cold nights and bring items for schools or clothes for people experiencing poverty.

This trip is incredible. Not for the faint of heart, due to the long drives, but it provides ample time to get to know your fellow travellers and amazing crew. The campsites were all amazing and I always felt safe. I enjoyed every second of this trip and will always miss Dan, Oti and Erico.

What an amazing experience this was! Nothing to fault. The experiences obtained from everywhere we visited was incredible and you see the best of these countries whilst gaining a detailed insight into their histories and present state. We also applaud Intrepid for having found the team that took us along on this journey as they were not just amazing humans though incredible guides and really made the whole experience what it was. We cannot speak highly enough of these individuals. Thank you Benson our guide, Henry our Chef and Patrick our Driver. The journey, experiences, variety of activities, meals, accommodation, driving, facilities and all people were top notch. Thanks again Benson and Co! We hope to see you out on our next African adventure!

My husband and I had an amazing first trip to Africa, thanks to Intrepid. We were taken care of well, by a wonderful guide, talented cook, and safe driver. The places we saw, the beautiful animals, and great add-on activities made the trip very memorable.

Absolutely outstanding trip, leader, crew. Deep memories and experiences of animals, people, culture, history. Incredible moments with animals (Rhino tracking/walking safari), local people (Lake Malawi, …), places (Great Zimbabwe, …), hikes and walks. Group came together in the best of ways, lifetime friendships.

Fantastic trip! So many surprises and learning opportunities. Great Zimbabwe could be renamed Fantastic Zimbabwe, and all other spots were eye-opening. This is the warm heart of Africa.

This was my first ever solo trip and a dream destination, I am so happy I followed my friend's footsteps and did through Intrepid. Such an amazing combination of wild life and cultural experience. We had the best crew (Laban, Willie and Jackson) and a very lovely group of travelers, I loved everything!
